Shelton Kings Levy

In early position, Steven Levy raised to 2,800. Kenneth Shelton was a few seats over, and he re-raised to 7,000. Levy called, and the flop came out {3-Spades}

. Levy checked, then called a bet of 15,500 from Shelton.

The turn card was the {2-Diamonds}

. Levy again checked, and Shelton moved all in for 30,900. Levy instantly called. Shelton tabled {K-Clubs}

for the big full house, but Levy's {A-Hearts}

gave him the biggest full house. The {8-Spades}

on the river was a blank, and that's that.

Levy has doubled his stack up to 110,000, while Shelton has slipped back to 85,000.

Bubble Time

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We're on the bubble, and the tournament is being dealt hand-for-hand until we hit the money. It looks like we're still 10 players from that mark though, so this could take a while.

The floor man asked the entire field to be completely silent while he went over some rules, and the room surprisingly fell hush. The only problem is that the man with the mic started the next sentence with, "Congratulations, you are now all in the money," drawing a huge ovation from the remaining players.

He's trying to make some announcements about getting paid out now, but it's significantly more difficult with the buzz at the tables. Finally, he did manage to get through the whole 'no electronics' spiel, and we're off into the money.

Jacks on the Bubble

We actually lost three players on the last hand before the money.

Chris Cooke was one of those unfortunate bubble boys. Jeffrey Vanchiro opened with a raise from the button, and Cooke was in the unenviable position of looking down at {J-Clubs}

from the small blind. He moved all in for about 21,000, and Vanchiro called him down with {A-Clubs}

.

The first four cards were safe, but the {A-Spades}

on the river was all she wrote for Cooke.

Those three players including Cooke were the final three non-cash finishers.

Alex Jacob opened the pot for a raise and the button moved all in for just a few thousand more. Action folded back around to Jacob who makes a resevered call with {A-Clubs}
